Now, WM allows small towns access. Do you really believe that causing small-town/rural people to drive further for goods will increase the strength of our economy?


Not my post! But some of my point in there is that WalMart eventually destroys the ability to drive further for goods.

And than, inexorably, WalMart stops providing those goods.

Net result: No goods. The market needs to be recreated from whole cloth by persons with no skills to do so.
